The fs-pi« as the time draws aeas
The Supreme Court has reversed
the judgment in the damage suit of
A. B. Metz vs, the Charleston and
Western Carolina Railway Co. This
.
was an action for damages agdinst
the railway company for $5,500 for
the alleged burning of Mr. Metz’s
gin house at Baldock on October 24,
1914, by allowing fire to escape from
its engine upon its right of way,
which was communicated to the gin
house. The case was tried at Barn
well in April, 14)22, before Judge
DeVore, resulting in a verdict for
the plaintiff for $2,^00. The de
fendant company claimed that the
fire did not come from the train or
from the right of way. In handing
down the decision, the Supreme
Court said in part:
“A careful investigation of all the
evidence convinces us that the
plaintiff failed by evHence or cir
cumstances to show that he was
entitlad ta, a verdict under the al
legations of hto complaint. The ver

AFFIDAVITS PRESENTED
IN DEFENSE OF MR. BIRT
Aiken Jurist Says Convictions
Necessary to Safeguard Life..
The People Aegrets very much
that every man in Barnwell County
could not hear the remarks of Judge
H. F. Rice to the Grand Jury last
Wednesday morning, following the
Presentment of the Grand Jury.
After commending that body for
their fektlass action, he embraced
the opportunity to score petit juries
throughout South Carolina for their
failure to convict white men of
murder even when the evidence w%i
such that an acquittal was, on i^
face, a travesty of justice. He told
of a case in a county in the upper
part ofitka State .when one whit^
man had shot snd killed another
He set up a piss of self-defense,
claiming that the dead man was ad
vancing upon him in a threatening
manner when he (the defendant)
Started shooting and advanced until
he fell dead. The Judge said that
the evidence presented hy the State
was to the effect that the alaia man Latin and French, coach; Miss
was running for dear life when kill- 1 Eliiobeth Burrhhalter. Eagtiak and

Supt. J. D. Robison, of the Barn-
well High School, states that he has
been fortunate in securing an un
usually fine faculty for the session
of 1923-1924. In the list of teach
ers will be found several new names
which means that Barnwell is to
lose some of .those who taught here
last session. While this is to be re
gretted, Mr. Robison feels that the
faculty for the coming year ranks
very high snd is anticipating an
other successful session. Those
composing the faculty are as fol
lows:
1st Grade—Miss Amelia McNab.
2nd Grsde—Miss Olivia Rook.
3rd ' Grade—Miss Cornelia Be

4th and 6th Grades—Miss Cora

At the reguest of Mr. E. G. Birt,
former member of the Board of
County Commissioners, The People
takes pleasure in publishing two af
fidavits relative to his recent con
troversy with the Board of County
Directors, which grew out of his
claim for $200 damages to his land
and crops by the construction of the
State highway through his farm a
few miles from Barnwell. As
stated in a previous issue of this pa
per, this controversy was settled in
a manner satisfactory to all parties
concerned, but Mr. Birt feels that the
public should hear his side of the
matter. The affidavits in question
are aa follows:

County Agent Harry Bbylston has
the following to say: . “Owing to
fact that 1 am to be asked so many
times hod.40 spray melons, cucum
bers, etr., I take this opportunity
to furnish the general * public with
information as to how to proceed.
These truck crops should be sprayed
with a solution of blue stone and
Utot. For the first spray use three
pounds of blue stone, four pounds
of fresTi lump lime in fifty gallons
of water. The second spray, four
pounds' of blue stone, four pounds of
fresh lump lime to fifty gallons of
water. Desolve the blue stone in
about forty-five gallons of, .' water,
then the lump* lime is slacked and
stirred into two or three gallons of
Vater, then this lime solution is
added into the barrel of blue , stone
solution, stirring thoroughly then
ad(T'water to make fifty gallons and
then spray.- This solution shouldAe
applied immediately. This solution
may also be used for spraying
gfapes and tomatoes and will be
found very beneficial when applied
freefy with a spraying pump. It is
necessary to use the . commercial-
blue stone which is much cheaper.
It is chemically pure a.nd shouldn’t
cost over 15 cents pjr pound. Be
sure to use fresh unslacked lime
and don't’let the solution aUnd over
• day after being ’ made. Any
further informauoo concerning lb#
ytag of the above crops will hr
gladly furnished hy the County

education for this school the same aa
' for Winthrop college or other sum
mer schools in this state. This
I school will renew certificates. It
will give certificates in cases where

So far the following have been
secured on the faculty: M. B. Self,

Bamberg city schools; A. J. Thack-
ston, superintendent of the Orange

Th# Red Bird baa a roomier body,
riding on a lengthened wheel base af
; !M inches and n spring base af 13d
inches. This specification alone in
sures extremely comfortable travel
ing at all times and under the moat
adverse conditions. When the
patented triplex springs, adopted by
Overland engineers are further
considered it will be readily under
stood that restful riding is one of
the many outstanding merits of this
mew car.
Straight sides, Fisk cord tires,
30 by 3% are also standard equip
ment on the Red Bird enhancing its
value to the purchaser and adding
to his motoring satisfaction.
The ergine is larger and more
powerful and in every way adapted
to maintain that far-reaching
reputation of creditable, economical
performance gained by the Overland
motor. Speed, flexibility, quick
pick-up and low cost operation 'are
established find proven facts.
. The Red Bird has a one piece dif
ferential case of great strength.
There are no bolts to work lose
and no openings for faulty assem

through dirt or other foreign . mat-
